The Foundation and Direction of the Paradigm Shift in the Studies on the Environmental Law.

To establish a paradigm for the studies on the Environment Law is not only crucial for building the theoretical system of the Environmental Law but also for guiding us to solve the environmental problems. At present, the revolutionary paradigm of "the integration of the subject and the object" , strongly advocated by some scholars, has not only demonstrated their clear awareness of the necessity of paradigm construction but also enabled the theory of the Environmental Law to develop in a pluralistic fashion. With human existence in the order of values ignored to some extent and with a focus on theoretical construction at the cost of its feasibility, this paradigm, however, encounters a lot of difficulties especially when it comes to coping with the environmental problems in practice. Therefore, the paradigm change in the studies on the Environmental Law should make a shift to the practice-orientedness under the guidance of the principles of "people-orientedness" and "balanced development".
